The purpose of a system is what it does.
The purpose of cryptocurrency is crime and money laundering.
Every so often, though, I have an impulse to support bitcoin on my store. Take payment, immediately convert it to cash, transfer to my pocket. Wouldn't that be better than sending that cash to crooks?
Then I come to my senses. That ecosystem soils all who touch it.
Looking at the news today: I chose wisely.
